Alfabetização, letramento e formação docente na Educação do Campo: algumas reflexões.

Abstract

The general objective of this work was to reflect on literacy processes in rural schools in an articulated manner with reflection on teacher training. The specific objectives were: to reflect on historical and conceptual aspects of rural education in Brazil; discuss concepts of literacy at school; reflect on the training of rural literacy teachers in our country. With regard to the methodology used in this study, we opted for qualitative research in which a bibliographical research was carried out. In the course of the work, it was possible to perceive that there are still many challenges for rural education and the literacy processes in these spaces to be effectively valued. As for teacher training, we also identified many challenges. It is necessary to invest more in the training of rural teachers, so that they can, above all, feel motivated and consequently be able to pass this motivation on to the students; better conditions for students and teachers should be provided, having a good structure and appropriate material. It is concluded that teacher training is of paramount importance for a better performance in the task of literacy in the rural schools, as well as for better student learning.
